CONE-HOLDER FOR WARPING OR OTHER MACHINES. I

. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,885, dated February 13, 1894.

Application filed Mayo, 1893. Serial No. 473,219. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN W. FOSTER, of

Westfield, county of Hampden, State of Massachusetts, have invented. an Improvement in Cone-Holders for Warping or other Machines, of which the following description,in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention has for its object the production of a simple and efficient device for holding paper shells or cones in position.

'My improved device consists of a dog 'pivoted eccentrically upon a suitable stud, the said dog, by the-partial rotation of the paper shell or cone upon the stud engaging the interior of the paper shell or cone and preventing it from'being pulled off the stud.

Figure 1, represents a sufficient portion of a warping creel with a paper shell or cone in position thereon to illustrate this invention, the shell or cone being partially broken out to show the construction of the dog; and Fig. 2, a front end elevation of the stud with its at tached dog. I

Referring to the drawings, A, represents a bar supposed to be part of a creel, set to cooperate properly with a warping machine.

This bar has properly secured toit, as shown,

a cone-shape block or stud B upon the front end of which is mounted eccentrically a dog a, shown as a pointed wire pin controlled as to the extent of its vibrations by a loop-like guide I), the pivot or center of motion of the dog being herein designated as a screw 0. When the dog is at the right end of the guide loop, as represented by dotted lines, its point is substantially level with the cylindrical exterior of the stud or block.

D represents a paper or equivalent shell, of 0 cone-shape, supposed to be filled with yarn or thread,in a cone winding machine such as represented in United States Patent No. 459,040, dated September 8, 1891, but herein the yarn has been omitted from the shell. Sup- 45 pose the shell to be full of yarn and that the same is to be applied to the stud or block to have the yarn drawn oft. To do this the operatorwill push the shell D back on the stud while the dog is in the dotted line position, and will then turn the shell slightly, causing the latter, by friction against the point of the dog, to turn the dog in the direction of the, arrow, and during such movement of the shell, the point of the dog, owing to its eccentric location, enters, more or less, the paper shell, thereby precluding the endwise movement of the shell from the stud until the shell has been turned backwardly opposite the arrow, when the shell may be taken 0%. This dog constitutes a very simple and cheap holder for a paper shell.

This invention is not limited to the exact construction of the dog.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The stud or block B and the pivoted dog a, mounted thereon eccentrically, combined with a guard to limit the extent of movement of the said dog, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN W. FOSTER.
